These include swimming 800 feet across an Arctic fjord, climbing a 100-foot rope dangling over a canyon, and walking along a crane atop a 900-foot-tall skyscraper.<\/p>\n<p class=\"&quot;x_MsoNormal&quot;\">Throughout the series, Hemsworth works with experts including <span lang=\"&quot;EN-US&quot;\">extreme athlete and sports science author Ross Edgley, <span lang=\"&quot;EN&quot;\">longevity physician Dr Peter Attia and professional freediver Tanya Streeter.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Hemsworth and Aronofsky recently spoke with <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">RadioTimes.com<\/a> and other press about their experience on the series, and when asked whether the show was, in part, exploring the idea that we in western world can be too comfortable, Hemsworth said this was definitely the case.<\/p>\n<iframe title=\"&quot;Limitless\" with=\"\" chris=\"\" hemsworth=\"\" official=\"\" trailer=\"\" disney=\"\" width=\"&quot;200&quot;\" height=\"&quot;113&quot;\" src=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SJPnK_NgHVI?feature=oembed&quot;\" frameborder=\"&quot;0&quot;\" allow=\"&quot;accelerometer;\" autoplay=\"\" clipboard-write=\"\" encrypted-media=\"\" gyroscope=\"\" picture-in-picture=\"\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\/>\n<p>He said: \u201cYeah. Ross Edgley talked about smiling in the face of adversity and being comfortable with being uncomfortable and getting familiar with that space that we don\u2019t inhabit very often. So, definitely putting yourself out of your comfort zone has huge benefits in just about any situation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Aronofsky added: \u201cI think kind of knocking yourself out of your homeostasis and out of your comfort zone is probably a few of the underlining themes of some of the techniques that are pitched in Limitless. One of the episodes is called Shock and it\u2019s about kind of introducing resilience to your body as a way of living better and longer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I think the fasting does a similar thing. So, there are certain type of jolts we have to do to our system and the science seems to kind of support that as a way of helping us live healthier lives.\u201d<\/p> <p>Asked whether he had any preconceptions before taking part in the series, Hemsworth said: \u201cI came into the show thinking, \u2018Obviously this will be fun and I\u2019m fit and healthy and this will be a journey.\u201d And then I realised, \u2018Wow, there\u2019s so much more I can be doing.\u201d The internal work in particular, the sort of stress management, sleep habits.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd also when and how you try different types of training. There\u2019s such an abundance of information now that has become far more popular, which is fantastic. You know, so many people resonate with a lot of the ideas here and they\u2019re not science fiction, they\u2019re far more familiar than they were. So I think it\u2019s perfect timing. And it\u2019s something I want to continue to implement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hemsworth has recently been seen in both <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/movies\/spiderhead-ending-explained\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Spiderhead<\/a> and <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/movies\/thor-love-thunder-how-to-watch\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Thor: Love and Thunder<\/a>, while Aronofsky\u2019s latest film, <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/movies\/brendan-fraser-the-whale-transformation-newsupdate\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">The Whale<\/a>, is set to be released in the UK early next year.<\/p>\n<p><em>Additional reporting by Grace Henry.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Limitless with Chris Hemsworth is available in full now on Disney Plus.<\/strong> <strong><a href=\"\/\/disneyplus.bn5x.net\/c\/1236178\/564546\/9358?subId1=radiotimes-0&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.disneyplus.com%2Fen-gb&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;sponsored&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Sign up to Disney Plus for \u00a37.99 a month or \u00a379.90 for a year<\/a>. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Check out more of our\u00a0<a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/entertainment\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Entertainment<\/a>\u00a0coverage or find more to watch with our\u00a0<a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/tv-listings\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">TV Guide<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/streaming-guide\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Streaming Guide<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"&quot;editor-content\" mb-lg=\"\" hidden-print=\"\" js-piano-locked-content=\"\" data-placement=\"&quot;Body&quot;\">\n<p><strong>The latest issue of Radio Times magazine is on sale now \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0<strong><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/magazine-subscription\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener noopener noreferrer\" noreferrer=\"\" data-auth=\"&quot;NotApplicable&quot;\" data-safelink=\"&quot;true&quot;\" data-linkindex=\"&quot;0&quot;\">subscribe now<\/a>.
